Ralink WLAN Utility

Instead of using the built-in Windows wireless utility, a 3rd party utility, Ralink WLAN

Utility, can be used. This utility provides access to additional advanced features of the

wireless card, such as Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). If the Ralink WLAN

utility is installed, then a small icon will appear in the system tray area near the clock.

Double-click the icon to open the utility window, or right-click on it to bring up the

menu and select the ‘launch’ option.

From the main interface, different sub sections can be accessed via the buttons along

the top of the window.

1.

Wi-Fi Direct:

Enables Wi-Fi Direct mode for peer-to-peer wireless networking.
